A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sounds hard to solve. Maybe we need hobbyist scientists who get their income in a different way and just publish studies wherever they feel like, or something
I'd say a noncommercial, maybe UN-backed index that is widely recognized would help.
Also, journal format is extremely outdated. We need to reform the way we store scientific data, and create an international standard.
Honestly, if my career didn't rely on it, I would entirely skip the publishing part of science. It takes so much more work to communicate your findings than to make them. Of course, that doesn't help the cause since no one else will be able to build off of my work if I don't share it.
